"ARC-5" Command Set Transmitter Pin-outs

---C'mon Dave, doesn't that sound a bit fanciful? Propaganda messages at

5 watts or so, radiated ??? Don't forget, like the "Kids Playing Radio"

(SW "pirates" ) that a program requires somebody knowing it's going to be

at a certain reliable, regular time and place, before anyone will "tune in".


Or to similute broadcast station beacons with

a radiated power miniscule compared to the field strength of broadcast
stations?

Fact is, in a war theatre far from populated areas, ANY frequency could be
used

and without too much background competition. Sometimes, LF and MF were simply

preferable for their propagation effects, compared to HF.
